    Hey guys I am desperate for very high resolution/quality satellite maps, I use Placemaker and I also use Nearmap but the resolution is not that great, I have tried using AI to upscale but that too does not really solve my issues. Is there another solution?

    Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

    @numerobis said: @anatolesketchucation said: ...6 core, 16go, 2go graphic card... sorry, but the 2GB doesn't say anything about the speed of the card. And do you mean a "real" Intel 6-core or an AMD? Maybe you can post your specs to see if it can be improved. And the model size (polys/MB) would also be helpful... Yeah 2gb doesn't help the speed but I think it can work better on big model. Which specs you want ? My computer ? intel i7 3930K@4.2 ghz (6 cores, 12 threads) 16 gb ddr3 GTX 670 Evga 2gb the size of the model is 28.1 mo

    @jaceguay Thanks for your input. I noticed when it opened up just before it crashed it would show a file window for a quick instant. I could never see it because it went so fast, but I used my phone and took a slow motion movie and was able to see the file name. Next I renamed the file so it wouldn't open it up, but it still opened up a window. I did my slo-mo trick again and found that somehow it was opening up the renamed file! I moved it to my desktop, and finally Sketchup is working fine again. Interestingly enough the file opened fine with a Windows version of Sketchup, but not on my Mac. I'm going to have someone who knows more about the program than I do take a look at it on his Windows PC to see if he can find anything wrong with it... Interesting stuff....

    You could try it with advaced camera tools. There you get models of your cameras so that you can scale them with the model i think.

    You normally model in Monochrome mode and then apply materials to the forms. So having a neutral color for the right-way-round faces seems a sensible choice. A bright back color shows up anyway. There is a FixReverse... tool that reverses incorrectly 'colored' faces, even if their backs have a material too - the default tool assumes you have only applied it to the back ! Use the 'force' tool and it should flip the face and materials ? NOTE: If the material is always the same on both sides of a face, then you can simply view in Monochrome, select the problem faces [Tip: use Ctrl to add to the selection, and Shift+Ctrl to remove items from the selection] then use your shortcut key to Reverse the faces en mass. When I say 'context' I mean where the entities are... So faces can be in the model itself or within a group or a component which is placed in the model, or even within another group or component. A group or component 'container' is like a separate SKP within the model... You can edit the 'container' using the context-menu or by doing a double-click on it. Then you are in the container's context and can edit those faces in there. There is no need to 'explode' containers. 'Containers' will separate geometry etc so have important uses...

    I selected 'use maximum texture size' ignored the warning and for some strange reason changing tools is no longer a problem. No idea why that should be but everything else was as has been suggested here so I wnet for broke and tada. Just been using sketchup 2013 for a few minutes and normal service has resumed. Clicking about half a dozen times to get a tool change. What is going on?????????

    Thanks for your reply - I'm using the same 15" MBP retina with "Best for retina" resolution. Window box text is fine, I guess I'll have to get some glasses!

    A manual process that we found was to use the Make Unique Texture. Now it would be to run that in batch on all horizontal faces with an elevation greater than zero. Thoughts?

    A common thought or relationships between scale factors for length,area,volume is conceptually difficult to understand.Its also important and has some interesting practical applications.Weighing scale unit introduces these ratios from a range of perspectives,its end up looking at some practical applications.

    Thanks for all the replies. Yes, all are workable, I was just hoping that there was a way/plugin to drape the DWG.

When i do it woth every other shape the "inside" of the shape is filled "solid" What do i do wrong? This is because of the small sides. Just press Ctrl when you push pull and you'll force the thickening mode. Fredo

    Thank you TIG - this is just the kind of info I was after. I'll print this out and sit back down with the IT guys on Monday and see what we can come up with. @tig said: Your IT guys are on a sticky wicket if they want to control ALL plugins use, because you can download a plugin to any folder you have full rights to We don't have permissions to anything other than our user folders (my docs ect) and we only download .rb and .rbs files from sketucation / smustard that have reviews and credible history but yes I get what you are saying. As I said I fully understand the need for PC security, just want an easy workaround (which you have provided) that enables me make full use of the flexibility and power that plugins provide in SU. Hopefully this will be ok with our IT guys. Thanks again for the speedy response - as always much appreciated....

    I no longer experience the crash which leads me to believe it was an NVIDIA driver issue; I am using the latest beta drivers (331.40).
